Minnie Driver, who is reportedly almost five month’s pregnant, has refused to comment on the father of her baby, simply saying that she wanted to keep him out of the media glare. In an interview with Girl Magazine before she confirmed her pregnancy, she said she had a boyfriend at the time that was “not famous and is an Australian.”

Driver’s costar on FX series “The Riches,” Eddie Izzard, made a comment that suggests that the father of Minnie’s baby is already out of the picture. At least that’s what I read into it:

Minnie is keeping mum on the father of her baby, but her The Riches co-star Eddie Izzard says she’s ready: “She’ll be a good parent because you need love, and as long as you have one parent giving love then the kid’s going to do great,” Eddie tells In Touch.

Maybe they asked him “How do you think Minnie will cope with being a single parent?” but it sure sounds like he’s saying she’s single now. That could be why she declined to name the father.

Driver, 38, recently said that she’s doing well with her pregnancy and that she feels “really good, happy and healthy.” She said it was “great just to be able to eat” and that the only thing she craves is olives.
